Real Madrid Keeps Bernardo Silva's Presentation Under Wraps

Following a similar pattern to José Mourinho's unveiling, which was closed to the media, Real Madrid has now done the same for midfielder Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international has been with the capital club since the beginning of the month, but the team only announced today that he has officially signed his personal contract.

The experienced player's presentation took place in the boardroom at Valdebebas.

“Real Madrid's training complex hosted the official presentation of Bernardo Silva as a club player. President Florentino Pérez welcomed him in the boardroom, where the midfielder signed the contract that will bind him to the team for the next two seasons – until June 30, 2028.

After signing, Bernardo Silva received a replica stadium, a watch, and a jersey with his name and the number 20. Our honorary president, José Martínez Pirri, also attended the ceremony,” stated the official announcement from the 'Royals'.

Silva arrived from Manchester City on a free transfer.

Real Madrid kicks off their La Liga campaign on Saturday evening (August 22) with an away fixture against Espanyol, a match from the second round. The team was granted an extended break, which is why they didn't play last weekend when most of the first-round matches took place. The 'Whites'' first-round clash against Real Sociedad is scheduled for next Wednesday.
